[arubinkun]

actually for me, "EMO" is the bull***t term because of the current use of the word, i dont care about the entomology of it, i only care for the current popular use of the word, the culture of the sagpa buhok kids.. tan-awa lang ang mga post diri, matud pa ni ursoman sa post taas nako "murag ang gikalagotan sa mga ng post diri about emo kay di man ang music ang mga tao man na ga emo". na usab na ang definition sa mga tawo ug emo, and there is nothing you or I can change that. i know the history of ithe word, but that shit is null because of how people use the word now. if old english words were used differently today we wouldnt care for the definition of the old times because the current definition is what we use.. sorry, but it's just the way it is..

and btw regarding fugazi and emo, you sir are full of shit..
pag research sa tawon oi sa imo gipaminaw na music oi.. the web is full of it.. ehem*fourfa.com* ehem.. calling one of the first band (fugazi) to be ever labeled as "EMO/EMOCORE" as not emocore or emo at all is amusing, 1980's pa to gi "label" sila ana ha.... and emo IS post-hardcore btw, so your argument doenst stand on anything.. if you really think about it, what made people label emo bands as emo is because of hardcore bands wanting to experiment with a wider range of sound (actually singing the lyrics instead of the the more common gruntiing, screaming and shouting) thus "POST-hardcore" meaning "after-hardcore".. emo is post-hardcore, but post-harcore is not emo because post-hardcore is a blanket term for music that was derived from hardcore (eg. emocore.. grunge.. some 90's indie bands.. screamo.. metalcore.. rapcore.. queercore.. parkour, jk, hehe .. and all the "cores" out there).. aight ¿comprende amigo?

so ROFLOLLERCOPTER to you sir..

I think this sums it all up... good work sir...

[GOSPELofROCH]

@keyser

maybe sayop ko sa pag-ingon nga i just want to enlighten you.
sorry for that bro.
pero speakin about fourfa.
d tanan nka butang didto sakto.
and ur basing for only one source. "fourfa"
tsk.tsk
i bet ikaw ang mas angay mag-research.
about sa post-hardcore.
don't take the word post literaly.
every genre has its styles of music.
abi post-hardcore man ma-consider pd nmo nga post-hardcore ang emo?
so mean to say subgenres of metal can also be post-metal?
like death, black, power, etc.
well that's really bullsh*t.
kung ing-ana nlng gani.
maypa tanan experimental genres of hardcore gitawag nlng ug post-hardcore.
so as metal, punk, etc.

@ekzchan

i get what you mean bout post-hardcore having its own sound, kay mao na ma nay pasabot sa mga tawo ron. maybe i could concede to that but it doesnt change the fact that emo was and is still considered post-hardcore, actually even some people use the words interchangeably, tan-awa ang pikas thread about emo. god, this is why i hate all this labels of genre and crap like that. different people have different interpretations of it. take for example the word indie as a genre, it came from the word independent so supposedly it should mean all independent artists, but now it is confined to certain sound. Also the word alternative. It originally meant bands like sonic youth, the pixies, REM, smashing pumpkins, nirvana, soundgarden and the whole grunge and Seattle rock scene, it was a wide range of sound but it was called alternative because it sounded different to the prevalent rock sound of the time, poison, motley crue and the whole hair-metal peeps. but now alternative is used to label pop-rock bands such as the calling, creed, puddle of mudd and even incubus. meaning of words change. roll with it.*sigh* maypa sauna sa, kibaw gyud ka unsay sound blues or reggae or jazz, dili mag lalis mga tawo ug such petty things as genre.

anyhoo, now back to the real topic ngano nag lalis ta.. is emo mainstream? i say yes you say no. you say its because they dont know "real emo". i say words change its meaning. and also different people have different thoughts on what emo is..

the proof that "Emo", the word whatever its meaning, is mainstream..

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/11720603/

msnbc.. how mainstream can you get?

also that seventeen magazine article on how to dress emo.. and that was frigging 2002... actually it was around that time i first time i heard an emo song, it was around 2001-2002, it was from NU107 cebu, it was a jimmy eat world song, i liked it, and johnny punk said it was emo. yeah so mainstream na to pag sugod nakog paminaw ug emo, unsa na kaha ron..

ma lalis pa ba? emo is mainstream. deal with it.
